Kenneth did an AMAZING job!! He was very informative and entertaining during the tour. I would book with them again
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thanks so much, we hope to see you again!
Very interesting history of the Boston Tea Party and colonial Boston as well as events that led up to the American Revolution. We really enjoyed Kenneth's depiction of these events.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thanks so much!
Our tour guide Kenneth was so intelligent, enthusiastic and an all around happy person. His career credentials as a professional voice actor afforded him extraordinary focus to continue intricate storytelling to our small group when a cacophony of Boston sounds competed for attention. We felt bad for other tour groups who did not have Kenneth. He was engaging and made history come to life with humor, and a deep appreciation for Boston where he has lived for decades.

Thank you so much for the kind feedback!
Our guide was (Charles)phenomenal !
He clearly not only was highly knowledgeable of Boston’s history but also demonstrated his deep passion for the city. He was patient with our many questions
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thanks so much! Charlie is also a college professor, so the love for engaging questions runs just as deep as his knowledge!
Great experience and Jules our tour guide was exceptional. She was very knowledgeable and open to questions. Highly recommend

A bit of walking. Our guide, Matthew, was a wealth of knowledge. My family really enjoyed it. I know a lot of history and still learned much.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
We're so glad you and your family enjoyed the tour!
Matt, our tour guide was wonderful, his enthusiasm and knowledge was outstanding. Each of the tour stops were very interesting.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thanks so much!
Sam was the man! So knowledgeable, so much energy. Felt like I had a life-sized New England encyclopedia standing right next to me. And he had wonderful recommendations on places to go for the rest of our stay in Boston after the tour.
SAM if you're reading this -- our dinner @ Limoncello in the North End was excellent (buonissimo!) and the MFA was the perfect activity for a rainy Boston morning. We are so appreciative.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Sam is a font of knowledge, we're so glad you enjoyed exploring Boston with him!
Our host was very knowledgeable and also funny! Very nice guy who has lived in area whole life and knows his stuff!
Response from Host, Sep 2026

Wonderful tour for someone who isn’t even a huge history buff! Elliot made it accessible and included lots of fun/interesting asides to keep us engaged the whole time, despite the heavy rainfall!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thanks so much for braving the rain with us!
It’s quite a bit of walking without a break but there’s so much history to cover in Boston. Our guide Julie (Jules) was amazing. She is so knowledgeable and told us all the interesting things while keeping us moving. So enjoyable. It was great! Loved it!!

Walking is uphill much of the time on uneven bricks. Lots of history and the guide was knowledgeable. Worth the time and money.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
It is a hilly bumpy walk! Thanks for joining us!
Tour guide was wickedly informative
And she was wickedly sweet
Loved her extra stories which added to the experience
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you!
The tour was informative. We could not have done this on our own. Did not think that all the jokes were necessary. We are grateful for the tour.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thanks for the feedback!
Charlie R. Was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. We learned so much more about US history than a history book could offer. Thank you! The sisters from Oregon
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thanks!
This was a great tour. You can tell the guide really loves Boston. Meeting was a challenge because the email received did not have a photo of the spot- it was a blank space without the photo- so we had to call & missed the first few minutes and never heard what the guides name was.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thanks for joining, so sorry you missed the first few minutes!
2.5 hour walking tour along the freedom trail with lots of interesting historical information - Stewart was an informative guide with a great personality. He wove the stories together in an interesting way- all in all a 10 out of 10. Highly recommend his tour!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thanks so much!
Great tour with a fun guide. Stewart was both knowledgeable and entertaining. Highly recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Sep 2026

I’m not a history buff and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour! It’s all about the guide and ours, Charlie R is a college history professor. Easy to listen to, captivating stories. Nice pace for all ages. Appreciate the few dollar senior discount :)
